The Arizona Cardinals offense will be missing wide receiver Christian Kirk and may be down Larry Fitzgerald as well against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.
There’s hope that they won’t be missing a piece of their running back room, too.
The Cardinals are “optimistic” that Chase Edmonds will play in the must-win matchup, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Edmonds is viewed as a game-time decision after being listed as questionable during the week with a hip injury. He missed all three practices this week.
